Oil Spill In Rayong, Thailand
An oil spill in Rayong, Thailand occurred a few years ago, due to the PTT oil company. The oil leaked out and destroyed Koh Chang, a beautiful island with white sand and clear sea water. There were some Thai and foreign volunteers that helped cleaned up the oil spill. PTT apologized a few days after the event, saying that it was mechanical problems.

The Recycled Oil Project
Hi! This is a project that we will make happen in Thailand. It will start small, but we hope that you readers from different countries well tell others and try to make it happen.
How Does It Work?
We will place a trash can in different streets. People can drop off the used oil in bottles in them. In the afternoon, a company can come and collect it and turn it into petroleum. People who go all the way to give it to PTT and not use the trash cans will get a sticker per bottle. The bottle must be full. Once you get up to 20 stickers, you get about 1 liter of free petroleum if you refill your gas at the PTT gas stations.
The oil problems these days are also caused by us. When the oil gets dirty when you cook, you either pour it in the trash or the sink. The pipes that are connected to the sink leads to a river which leads to the ocean. It then will kill the animals near it.
TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN AND THE OCEAN CLEAN, WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT!
Sincerely,
The Oil Spill Group

Our Lines Of Inquiry
Incase you don't know what lines of inquiry are, it is 3 lines of inquiry. They are sentences that tell you what we are researching in.
Right now we have:
Perspective--- The perspective of the oil companies and the victims.
Causation--- The effect of the oil spill.
Responsibility--- People are responsible to protect the ocean.
These are not certain yet, so PLEASE COMMENT and suggest new things that we should inquire into. It is supposed to be sentences, but questions will work too.

A Little More About Us
Hi! We are the people behind this blog. My name is Bloomy and our group is Mim, Nisha and Jaden.
Why are you doing this?
Well, we are basically doing this for the exhibition, but if you are expecting a deep and sincere answer, then we are doing this to help prevent, lessen and also clean up the oil spills all over the globe. But first, we'll start locally.
What is an oil spill?
Funny you ask, because an oil spill is literally an OIL SPILL. But if you need a definition, then an oil spill is a spill of liquid petroleum cased by humans.
How does this affect us?
Oil spills not only affect the victims, but it also affects the oil price. It also makes the air polluted and our oceans and environment polluted.
Then how does it affect the victims?
The oil spills can not only harm the animals near it and in the ocean, but can also harm humans. When the water evaporates, it evaporates oil in it, making our air bad and the people near it will be inhaling oil, which is also a cause of cancer. Many people also make a living by fishing, and now the people (like in the Niger Delta) cannot fish and don't have clean water, money and any fish to eat.
What is the case of the Nigeria oil spill?
We are not taking sides here, but Shell "accidentally" polluted the rivers and refuse to clean it up. The people in the Niger Delta then protested, which caused the execution of Ken Saro-Wiwa and 8 other colleagues. Again, we are not taking sites.
What happened to cause the Niger Delta spill?
A Shell had a base in the Niger Delta. Then, the pipes that usually tap the oil leaked out and created an explosion, causing an oil spill. The villagers accused the Shell people of being aware of this, because they stayed about 100 meters from the actual site.
